Quotes to keep you going


Quote  |  Reply
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person.
      
- Dr. David M. Burns
?The two most powerful things in existence: a kind word and a thoughtful

gesture.??Ken Langone, founder, Home Depot
Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen."- Peter Marshall
good one!
?Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world.?
- Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
Avoiding the phrase ?I don?t have time...?, will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life. -Bo Bennett
What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.

Mother Teresa
Nothing tases as good as thin feels.
A man approached JP Morgan, held up an envelope, and said, ?Sir, in my hand I

hold a guaranteed formula for success, which I will gladly sell you for $25,000.?

?Sir,? JP Morgan replied, ?I do not know what is in the envelope, however if you

show me, and I like it, I give you my word as a gentleman that I will pay you what

you ask.? The man agreed to the terms, and handed over the envelope. JP Morgan

opened it, and extracted a single sheet of paper. He gave it one look, a mere glance,

then handed the piece of paper back to the gent. And paid him the agreed-upon

$25,000.

The Paper:

1. Every morning, write a list of the things that need to be done that day.

2. Do them.

It doesn't make any difference whether what you face is something that affects your work, your personal relationships, your sense of security, your appraisal of self-worth, or your appearance--the way you think about your situation largely determines whether you will do anything about it and what you will do.
-Would you ever have the nerve to talk to anyone else as callously as you talk to yourself? You have done nothing to deserve abusive treatment, and you deserve an apology.

-Growth and change are never easy...If it were easy, you would have done it long ago.

-Do not worry; eat three square meals a day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; keep your digestion good; exercise; go slow and easy. Maybe there are other things your special case requires to make you happy; but, my friend, these I reckon will give you a good life. --Abraham Lincoln

-Inward calm cannot be maintained unless physical strength is constantly and intelligently replenished. --Gautama Buddha (Prince Siddhartha)

-We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons. --Jim Rohn
'Hard-pressed on my right, my left is in retreat. My center is yeilding. Situation excellent. I am attacking.'
Journey...the bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you refuse to take the turn.
"Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy ####ing walrus-looking piece of ####. Get the #### off of my obstacle. Get the #### down off of my obstacle. Now. Move it. I'm going to rip your ----s off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world. I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short- ----s every cannibal on the Congo. " -Gunnery Sergeant Hartman

...ehhh, I tried to edit it as much as I could and still get the motivation in there.  I won't get my feelings hurt if one of the admins just takes it out.  Got to love "Full Metal Jacket".  Here are other ones, though:

"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way."

"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory."

-both by General George S. Patton Jr.
?It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.?

?The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it.?

"Give a man a fire and keep him warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life."

Terry Pratchett
